How We Test
We judge every unit the way a plumber/HVAC/electrician judges it on a real job: install difficulty and serviceability, real-world lifespan and common failure points, and warranty versus price. Prices and specs are cited to the manufacturer with a date — we write "no data found" rather than guess.
